I am 1 of the 3 finalists in the February sketch challenge on the Little Yellow Bicycle blog! I used the Escape Collection for my layout titled "A Trip To Remember". It includes photos from the MSW Houston Crop last summer. I am so excited to have made it this far and would love your vote!

It's my day to post on the Just Imagine blog and I wanted to share my layout of Sierra in the phone booth at the Fireman's Memorial Park. We went there to take pictures, apparently that's where all the Port kids go, because there was a bunch of them there!
I used the 4 in 1 Kreaxions Punch #305. I punched it with no insert and then backed it with yellow cardstock and added the fall away piece to the top and used a zig zag stitch to connect them:

You may recall from last month's challenge that the purpose of this challenge group was to take our scrapbooking to the next level, to stretch our creative process and to grow as artists by embracing challenges that make us think, work and grow.

This month, our challenger was the super talented Lisa Spiegel. Lisa lives in California with her family and this month she asks us to think about our growth in 2013. This is what she wrote:

"Create a layout about your One Little Word. You know, the word that we scrappers choose in January upon which to reflect for the year. This word should have special meaning to you and be selected for it's potential to help you reach and grow...the only hard part..you must use a photo of yourself and add journaling to the layout explaining the significance of the word..."

I choose the word "SLOW" for my One Little Word, as in slow down! My journaling will explain this later in my post.
Here is my layout:

There was a new sketch posted on the My Scraps & More Sketch Blog yesterday and it's a fun one! I used the new Scoot line by Echo Park, I love the colors in this collection!I also wrote my journaling around the page, it's been quite awhile since I have done that.

Here's my layout:

Tammi posts a new sketch every Friday and you have all month long to play along for a wonderful prize! Hope you will join us!

Good morning and happy Saturday!
I am up on the Just Imagine blog today with my layout of my one little word for 2013, SLOW. My hubby and kids are always telling me to slow down, it seems I am usually in a hurry, LOL.

I used the Kreaxions 4 in 1 Punch #904 and put the positive piece down first as my border, then flipped the negative piece to the other side of the patterned paper and added that on top:

Thanks for stopping by and sharing your day with me!
Hope you enjoy the rest of your weekend!

My friend, Bev, showed me a sketch that was up on the SCRAPBOOK STEALS BLOG and I fell in love! I knew exactly what papers I was going to use with the sketch when I saw it, October Afternoon's Cake Walk collection.

My friend Wendi told me about the Inspired Blueprints blog and that they started back up again, so I had to go check it out, loved the sketch and had to play with it. I combined their sketch with Nik's February Color Challenge at MSW and Let's Capture Our Memories Challenge #1 to use 2 shades of pink and came up with this sweet layout of my daughter.
Here is the sketch:

It's February and I am a few days late posting this. At My Scraps & More I am hosting the Project 12 or Life Captured challenges as we are calling it, this year. I posted my first 2 page sketch on Friday and my 2 page layout to go with it. January was a quiet month for us and I didn't take many pictures. Sierra let me do a photo shoot, so I used a few of those and she also took a few pics of me and I used one of those. But I have no pics of the guys, maybe this month:)

Here is my sketch:

If you are interested in playing along with the project 12, we would love to have you join us at My Scraps & More!

It's my day to post over at the Just Imagine blog and I just wanted to share the layout I made using the 4 in 1 Kreaxions Punch #310. I used the positive piece for the bottom border and the negative piece for the top border. These punches are wonderful because you can use the negative pieces too!
